ROM is Read Only Memory and means that a medium can only be read and not written to. A CD Recordable, on the other hand, is different in so far as it can be written-to once and thereafter, is like the ROM only readable. This writing-to process has the technical term of burning, as the writing is done with a laserbeam.
Rome is the capital of Italy and has also burned once. Emperor Nero is said to have set Rome on fire, the colosseum was also engulfed in flames. Academics still argue today about the authenticity of Neros acts, but not us. A play on words is just that, a play on words. Especially as with Nero your CD-ROMS will be on fire everytime!
